Types of Oven Hob

A hob is an uncooked surface that sits above your oven with hob to cook your pans and pots. There are several different types of hob including electric, gas and induction.

Look for features like rotary or touch controls. They allow you to control the heating zones at the touch of a button. They also stop them being knocked over easily particularly by children.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs offer style and functionality in a contemporary kitchen. The glossy surface can be damaged by food scratch marks and other residues. To keep your hob looking good and functioning effectively, you should maintain a regular cleaning routine. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pad.

Hobs of this kind are heated by passing an electric current through coiled elements that are hidden beneath the glass surface, which generate heat when activated through control knobs. Certain models employ an element that radiates heat through the surface of the glass. Certain models have the halogen element, which is more efficient. They can heat the entire surface with repeated pulses.

Certain ceramic hobs come with advanced safety features, such as residual heat indicator that warns you when the surface is hot to the touch. This prevents burns. Certain ceramic hobs come with child locks that stop children from accidentally changing the settings.

For optimal performance, it is important to use appropriate cookware with your ceramic cooktop. This ensures that the pans are flat-bottomed, which helps to ensure even heat distribution and helps avoid hot spots that could cause under or overcooked food. Avoid dragging your pans across the surface as this could scratch the tempered-glass.

We recommend ceramic hobs that have dual-ring designs, or the 'I Flex zone. This can accommodate two single pots, or one large pan. You'll need a pan with minimum dimensions of 30cm to register. We also have models with booster heaters for quick heating in specific zones or pans. This is ideal for stir-fry or searing steak. We also have models with an auto shut-off feature that turns off the hob after a set time to avoid overheating. This is a helpful security feature to have to provide peace of mind. This function is usually activated by pressing the 'Power button' on the control panel if you have your appliance set to the maximum temperature and no activity is detected for a set period of time.

Gas Hobs

Gas hobs, also referred to as gas stoves or cookers are kitchen appliances that make use of flammable natural gas or the liquefied petrol gas (LPG) for their fuel. The flame heats cookware and surrounding air which enables quick cooking and precise temperature control. The elevated design of a gas hob offers additional security by preventing the body from coming into contact with the flame, thus reducing the risk of burns. This elevated design requires particular care when using or cleaning the hob in order to avoid spilling liquids onto the burners.

A traditional gas hob is ignited by a match or by a pilot light and the burners are controlled manually. Modern models have an automatic igniter that ensures that the gas is ignited in a controlled manner. The flame can be controlled by the knobs that control it which makes it easy to adjust the level of heat according to your needs. Certain gas hobs have multiple flame burners, dependent on the model. This allows for greater cooking flexibility.

Gas hobs require a constant gas supply, which can be problematic when you live in a place with an unreliable or erratic supply. Gas hobs also require regular maintenance to prevent corrosion and leaks. For these reasons, it is important to install a gas hob only after consulting an approved Gas Safe fitter who can offer expert installation and follow strict safety protocols.

Although induction and electric hobs are becoming more popular, there is still an enormous market for gas appliances in some regions. This is due to the preference of consumers and environmental concerns, in addition to local prices for energy and availability. As a result, it is essential to consider your kitchen's utility costs and infrastructure before selecting a type of hob.

Hobs induction

Induction hobs have become the most popular choice for our customers who want an elegant, modern kitchen. Magnetism is used to heat the pans, instead of the surface being heated or burning gas beneath. Copper coils are positioned under the glass ceramic surface. A current of alternating electricity is passed through them. When an induction-compatible pot or pan is placed over the cooker, the coils detect its magnetic base and heat the pan or pot directly. This is faster than traditional gas stoves and more efficient in energy usage. The glass-ceramic surface is cool and cool to feel and easy to clean.

Induction hobs are designed to be less difficult than gas hobs to wash. To keep your induction hob as clean as new, all you need is a damp cloth.

The biggest drawback to induction cooking is that you'll need to have the right cookware. Cast iron, stainless steel and some non-stick pans are all compatible but they need a magnetic base. If you're not sure whether your existing cookware is induction-compatible, a quick test is to place a magnet on the bottom of the pan. If it sticks firmly, then your pan is induction-compatible.

A range of induction hobs are available, from budget models to premium brands with a full TFT display and a comprehensive operating menu. The hob displays the pan's location on a full-color display when it is placed in a power zone. A control button or slider allows you to alter the power setting or set a clock. There are a variety of clever gadgets, including pan sensors that attach to the sides of cookware to communicate with the oven using bluetooth to control the power.

Induction hobs that have a built-in fan reduce smoke, steam and cooking smells. This model is ideal for homes with small space as it removes the need for a separate extractor fan. It utilizes magnetic fields within the kilohertz frequency range in order to generate heat that is then absorbed by the pan and its contents. In normal operation, at an interval of five to ten centimeters, these fields conform with the reference value for the magnetic flux density set for the relevant frequency range by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection and no health-related effects are expected.

Electric Hobs

The top electric hobs have a sleek design and are designed to match all kitchen styles. They are a great option for those who prefer the ease of use of touch controls rather than dials. They also come with a variety of options to fit your cooking requirements. The majority are made of glass which is easy to clean and can also appear stylish if you go for a black or white design. Certain models come with bridge features that allow you to connect two zones to fit larger pans while others have an extra power boost button that provides extra heat for difficult tasks.

Induction hobs have become increasingly popular because they provide a contemporary and clean look that blends well with the modern designs of kitchens. They cook quickly and offer a high degree of security. They are more likely to cool faster than gas cookers and come with an indicator light that remains on when the cooking zone gets hot to the touch. They also tend to be more efficient due to the fact that the magnetic field only produces heat under the pan itself and doesn't heat the air around you.

There are some things to consider when choosing an electric hob. The majority of them require a power supply that is configured with the correct cables and breakers. We recommend having it installed by a certified electrician. They can also be quite expensive and you'll need an induction pan that is compatible with the pans to get the best hob uk from them. They can be more expensive due to the fact that they consume more energy.
